A Contemporary Classic Debut Novel of Southwestern Journeys, Cherokee Orphans, and Found Family

Leaving rural Pittman, Kentucky, in a malfunctioning 1955 Volkswagen, spirited young Taylor Greer heads west to escape small-town limitations. While stopped at an Oklahoma diner, a desperate Cherokee woman leaves a silent, abused three-year-old Native American girl in Taylor's passenger seat.

Naming the child Turtle, Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, and secures work at Jesus Is Lord Used Tires, an automotive shop run by Mattie, who secretly operates an underground sanctuary for Central American refugees. Supported by her eccentric roommate Lou Ann, Taylor fights to legally adopt Turtle and protect her found family.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Barbara Kingsolver's celebrated debut novel combines Southwestern humor with poignant social commentary on motherhood and refugee sanctuary. Perfect for readers of Alice Walker, Anne Tyler, and Sue Monk Kidd.
